Data locking

You can lock estimated payments for each time period. When you lock a consolidated entity, all entities for the filing group are also locked for that jurisdiction. Locking entities is also the first step in the process to transfer estimated payments information to ONESOURCE Income Tax. It's also the first step to transfer payments to ONESOURCE Calendar.
